A weekend trolley loop could make its way to the North Fork this fall with the goal of getting visitors to take the train to the North Fork and alleviate congestion on local roads. 

The loop is being proposed on a pilot basis by M&V Limousines of Southampton, which is tied to the new trolley line set to run in Hampton Bays this summer. A 30-person trolley car and bus is planned for the first season.

“This is for people who end up out here,” Southold government liaison officer Denis Noncarrow said Tuesday at a Southold Town Board work session at Peconic Landing. “A lot of people tell us all the time, well I could get there one way or the other, but I have no way to move around once I get out there.”
